Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018169899A1] Detachable optical connectors for optical chips and methods of their fabrication are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical connector includes a ferrule including a first surface, a second surface, and at least one bore extending from the first surface. The optical connector further includes a waveguide support coupled to the ferrule. The waveguide support has a chip coupling surface. The optical connector further includes at least one waveguide disposed within the at least one bore of the ferrule and within the waveguide support such that a first end of the at least one waveguide is exposed at the first surface of the ferrule and a second end of the at least one waveguide is exposed at the chip coupling surface of the waveguide support.
